COOPER CITY — A two-story, 52,000-square-foot office building will be built at the southwest corner of Griffin Road and Southwest 106th Terrace if annexation negotiations between the city and the landowner are successful.

Jim McCrory, who has lived on the 5-acre parcel in unincorporated Broward County since 1951, has decided to enter the city to develop the land. ``It`s easier to work with Cooper City,`` said McCrory, owner of McCrory Construction.

The promise of city water also was attractive to McCrory, who currently uses well water.

The West Broward Commercial center will feature a two-story, 51,920-square- foot office building plus a 40,015-square-foot second parcel that will be developed either with a bank or a fast food restaurant.

The committee is requesting that the landowner pay for a traffic study to determine the project`s impact on local roads. McCrory also will be required to contribute $23,500 toward the city`s water plant project, Murphins said.
